poems is that it makes poems easier to read. According to Perrine (1982: 118),
there are four characteristic of figurative language. First, figurative language
affords readers imaginative pleasure of literary works. Second, it is a way of
literary works more sensuous. The third, figurative is a way of adding

attitudes along with information. And the last, it is a way of saying much in
brief compass.
There are two general categories of figurative language: 1) tropes, which
are to do with meaning variations in the use of lexemes and multi-word
language constructions and 2) schemes, which concern the repetition of
phonological, syntactic, and lexical forms, Arvius (2003: 190).
By using figurative language, the writers can evoke emotion and
imagery from their writing that literal language just cannot provide. Thus,
figurative language makes expressing meaning through writing easier and
more relatable to the reader.
